"Good day, Miss Ilena. Xiao Yun said she was preparing to return to the ship."
"Good day, Mr. Guo. Miss Xiao left here not long ago, and she seems angry. I'm sorry, it's all my fault," Ilena said.
"Oh, no, no, it was my fault. Did you… did you tell her?"
"I said I had too much to drink and didn't see you," Ilena replied. "You aren't feeling guilty, are you?"
"No, well, how should I put it?"
"Then don't say it. I don't blame you," Ilena said, coming over and hugging Guo Xuyang's waist.
Guo Xuyang felt extremely awkward.
He wanted to dodge, fearing she would overthink it, thinking he was a scumbag who took advantage and ran.
If he didn't dodge, he feared Xiao Yun would see and have a million things to say, none of them good.
Ilena seemed to be teasing him, leaning in to kiss him before pulling away.
Guo Xuyang instinctively touched his lips.
This seductive, dangerously charming little fairy.
He cursed inwardly.
Ever since their intimate encounter in Shanghai, he felt himself becoming more and more like a scumbag.
To detoxify Xiao Yun, they had shared intimacy.
After talking with Ilena half the night yesterday, he had been busy again all night.
Could it be the Eye of the Demon? Or was his inner lech being awakened?
He grew wary, reminding himself again and again to be careful not to fall, not to lose his conscience, and not to fall into reincarnation.
"Hey, what are you standing here for? Aren't you going to pack up?" Xiao Yun walked over with her backpack.
"Let's wait a moment. Ilena isn't finished yet."
"Why are you waiting for her? We're going back to the ship. What, are you reluctant to leave?"
"What are you talking about? We have to say goodbye to her. She hosted us for two days, after all. We need to show basic courtesy."
Xiao Yun exploded when she heard this.
"I'm not polite? I was kidnapped the first day I moved in. I finally got back yesterday, and you left me alone while you two were entangled. I'm not polite? How else am I supposed to be polite?" Her voice rose, sharp and piercing.
"I practically handed over my boyfriend, and you're asking me how else I should be polite?"
"Alright, alright, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have chased you away, okay? Keep your voice down, or people will hear and laugh."
"Who knows me? I'm not afraid of being laughed at. I haven't done anything wrong, so why should I be afraid of laughter?"
"Okay, Grandma, if you keep this up, I'm leaving on my own."
"You go ahead, all of you go. Just let me die. Don't stop me, just let me die," Xiao Yun said, running upstairs.
"What do you want me to do? I'll listen to you, okay?" Guo Xuyang held her, afraid to let go, fearing she might impulsively run upstairs and attempt to jump.
"Let's go now. I don't want to stay here for another minute. I've had enough of this place."
"Then wait for me, I'll pack my clothes," Guo Xuyang said, carrying her into the room.
Ilena had already put on her clothes and stood quietly watching Xiao Yun's outburst.
"I'm sorry, Ilena. Sorry for making you witness this spectacle," Guo Xuyang said politely.
"No need for apologies. I shouldn't have brought you to this place. Otherwise, so many things wouldn't have happened, and Miss Xiao wouldn't have had misunderstandings," Ilena said.
"We'll be going now. Thank you for your company these past few days. Goodbye!" Guo Xuyang said, pulling Xiao Yun and preparing to head downstairs.
Just then, the phone rang. Guo Xuyang took out his phone and saw it was from Lu Liang.
"Brother Liang, what's up?"
"Where are you now?"
"We're in Sun City. Is something wrong?"
"Come to Cape Town now. Cancel the house. Lu Liang said on the phone.
"Okay. Are we all going?"
"Yes. Have Ilena drive you over. There's a bar here, Tina's Bar. She knows the place. I'll wait for you here." Lu Liang hung up.
"Brother Liang wants us to go to Cape Town. He wants Ilena to drive us there," Guo Xuyang told Xiao Yun.
Xiao Yun snorted and said nothing.
"Let's go, I'll take you to Cape Town," Ilena said, smiling at Guo Xuyang.
The three of them packed their belongings, got into Ilena's car, and headed towards Cape Town.
Guelph and his men turned the winery upside down but still couldn't find Hughes. He reported this situation to Chick.
"Boss, Hughes is really gone. We couldn't find him in the winery."
"Do you think Lu Liang did it?"
"It's hard to say. Why don't you give him a call?"
"Then you all come back. I'll contact him."
Chick pondered for a moment and then called Lu Liang.
"Mr. Lu, is Hughes in your hands?"
"Yes. If he can do the first move, I can do the fifteenth. You won't be angry with me because of this, will you?"
"Of course not. We won't be. I wonder if you could let him go now?"
"Of course. I wanted to have a good talk with you. How about you find a place?"
"Tina's Bar. I'm here now. What do you think?"
"No problem. I'll be there shortly."
Lu Liang hung up and then called Guo Xuyang. He wanted to use Guo Xuyang to seize the diamond mine in this area.
He still remembered what Jiang Qixin had told him: Guo Xuyang had supernatural abilities, but the specific nature of these abilities was unclear.
Especially during the rescue of Xiao Yun and Ilena, he discovered something very strange.
That was that Guo Xuyang had rescued the two without anyone noticing, and Hughes had no memory of kidnapping the two women.
What was even more incredible was that later, during the capture of Hughes, it was discovered that the wine in the winery had disappeared.
In this country, no winery would have less than tens to hundreds of tons of wine. It was impossible for Guo Xuyang alone to have moved that much wine.
It had to be said that Lu Liang thought a lot, after all, he had served in the special forces. He had some understanding of supernatural abilities.
However, he couldn't figure out Guo Xuyang's abilities.
It didn't matter if he couldn't figure it out. As long as it could be used for his benefit, what kind of abilities it was didn't matter.
When Lu Liang arrived at Tina's Bar, Guelph was already there.
"Mr. Lu, please have a seat." Chick poured him a glass of red wine. "This is Guelph, my brother. He is mainly responsible for the diamond business."
"Guelph? You're too old to be in this business anymore," Lu Liang said mockingly.
"Kid, don't be too arrogant. When I was making my way in society, you were still drinking milk," Guelph retorted.
"I advise you, old man, to stay out of this mess, or you might get burned," Lu Liang had not known Guelph was responsible for the diamond business on the streets before.
Because he had always dealt with Chick. Moreover, he always spoke in terms of price, never resorting to dirty tricks.
This made it impossible for Chick to find a reason to make a move.
After all, Lu Liang bought diamonds with money, not only buying from others but also earning a lot from his own diamond mine.
